Has anyone thought about converting a used G-Class to CNG in the U.S. or I guess anywhere in the world for that matter?

I thought of it... But am waiting for another member to report results....

I was just thinking it would be a great conversion since the cost per mile to drive a "G" on CNG would be about 50% less than gasoline.

I would love to buy an older "G" for $25k-$30k and pay for the conversion although I'm not sure how much it would cost or if there is a company that can custom build the conversion.

Multiple companies do conversions, especially with older Mercedes engines..

I'd love to have an older G w/ CNG. The cost of conversion could be recouped in just a couple of years of driving.

Care to help mention a few?

I saw an article that Bernie Towns from Texas converted a 2007 SL. Article says he worked closely with SpeedDriven.

I like this idea.... Enough to spend some $.

Long term you would save money because the cost per mile via CNG is 50% than of gasoline.

The U.S. also has a lot of domestic natural gas.
